    I am considering installing 15mm wheel spacers front and rear. Is that a good or bad idea - does it improve or worsen handling?

    I have some 15mm 355 'specific' hill eng spacers on the rear only. They make a noticeable difference in handling for the better :)

    The spacers will not affect 'alignment'. ;)

    Thx 4 Ur comment. I am considering Hills Engineering spacers for both front and rear. My mechanic assures me that there is sufficient wheel well clearance. Conscom

    I have 15 mm spacers on each hub. (H&R)
    First roll out I tested just 15 mm on the rear axle. Result: cornering was spoiled. :(
    With another pair of 15 mm spacers for the front the 'cart feeling' was back again. ;)
    So I keep it this way.
    In general, the handling turns from 'sedan' to 'cart'. (beeing aware the 355 is not a limosine at all)
    If you play around a little bit, like I did, you can feel the huge difference between the 2 and 4 spacer setups.

    have fun,

    I was looking on Ricambi's site and its not really obvious which hill eng spacers are 355 specific ones, could it be these ones? "WS015DS 2 x 15mm Dual Spigot Spacers". Also are the stock 355 bolts long enough?

    It's the normal WS015, but be sure to select the radio button for F355 style:

    Cool! Much appreciated. Have decided to do the 4 spacers. You've been a great help.

    No the stock bolts are not long enough... :( .................... I may add 5-10mm in front if it will help handling........ though a few guys on here run spacers on the rear only.
